UN rights chief 'horrified' by mass grave reports at Gaza hospitals

UN rights chief Volker Turk said on Tuesday that he was "horrified" by the destruction of the Nasser and al-Shifa hospitals in Gaza and reports of mass graves discovered there.

Turk, addressing a UN briefing via a spokesperson, also decried Israeli strikes on Gaza in recent days, which he said have killed mostly women and children.

He also repeated a warning against a full-scale incursion on Rafah, saying this could lead to "further atrocity crimes".
